Hi,
I’ve been hanging around on this forum for almost six years now. And from time to time I’ve asked you guy’s several questions over the years. And in the best way you have always supported me and helped me in the best way, which I’d like to thank you for. And especially I’d like to thank Mr. Pass for his contribution to this forum and to the general DIY community. Without you guy’s I would never been able to do this.
And now, when I finally finished my two projects (Aleph P and Aleph 30), I’d like to show you some pictures of them.

agree 150% ;
you can't see that I write "fugly!" for many things .........
I'm curious to see how they look inside ; if they are at least 75% neat as outside , it's worth 6 yrs of enjoy in making them ;) |

Yeah, circuit porn. Me too wants to see the inside.
From the outside these amps are really, really awesome. Incredible. |

OK,
First of all I like to thanks for the nice comments. And I have to say that I feel the pressure of open the boxes, and feel comfortable of doing so. As a friend once said “I'm not afraid”:D
First a picture of the PSU box (Aleph P), the box holds three traffos one for each channel and one for the volume control which is controlled by a PIC 16F84A. Next to the box you can see the volume control.
The onter Aleph P box contains two of these (and the relay board for the volume conrtol).
And inside the Aleph 30 (boards from Chipamp)
Another picture from the side (upside down)
And finally

Smart cookie to use G-shape cross-sectional aluminum extrusion instead of angles or solid square bars.
Ceramic stand-offs would have been prettier, but nice piece of work for a Swede in exile. :clown:
What did you do with the feet (socket) of the power amp ? |

| Nice. Especially the Aleph P Boards? Yor own design or is that PCB Layouts available at DIYaudio.com? My Friend is searching for an Aleph P DIY Layout |

| Hi Loovet, I like the nice clean lines, did you make the panels yourself or get them machined. If this is your first DIY its very impressive:) |

Very very nice!!!
Three questions:
1) no input selection?
2) where did you get that knob?
3) are those front pannels bare aluminium?
cheers,

Hi Luke,
You are right, this is my first DIY. The Aleph P took me some six years, a few other things came in between:cool:
And the Aleph 30 took me only 1,5 years, pretty quick.
The panels are made by my self in my friends small metal workshop.

Absolutely gorgeous! A true statement of elegant simplicity. You should be very proud. You have definitely "raised the bar" for your fellow DIYers. :D
I'm currently working on building a pair of A30s using BrianGTs boards. The chassis design is giving me fits and is definitely the biggest challenge.
As soon as the A30s are done, I want to build a pair of Aleph Ps. I plan to start sourcing parts, but finding the boards is proving to be a real challenge.
Thanks for sharing your projects with us. I'm sure we have all picked up a few ideas and your pictures have inspired me.
